WEBVTT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET TO A HOSPITAL. NEW YORK GOVERNOR CUOMO SAID THAT EVERYONE THAT GOT STUCK IN THEIR CARS OR TRUCKS DURING THE STORM ARE NOW SAFE. A NATIVE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE FOUND HERSELF STUCK ON A BUS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STORM WITH HER BASKETBALL TEAMMATES FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF NIAGARA. TONIGHT SHE SHARED WHAT A TOUGH ORDEAL THAT WAS.
